Well I remember the public pool
And all the trash on the ground in the park was cool
All the cigarette bu*ts fought the needles
And all the of stones fought all the beetles
Mirror mirror on the wall
Oh come on that's not me at all
Now who's that handsome animal?
I feel so good I feel six feet fall.
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
Shoguns and Hulk Hogans
And cavemen shouting slogans
Back and forth around the fire
Now connected by a wire
So everyone you meet is you
Divided by what they've been through
The fates fly past beyond control
And make pebbles of our mountain soul
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
And that phone call made my stomach fold
I heard in yr voice a heart so cold
I stumbled back shaking with loss
They said stop calling Santa Claus
I thought my heart's not the kind you break
It's just that certain things are hard to take
But now that I've got it all on tape
I can really figure out its shape
And I kept repeating it to myself
'Til I convinced myself it's true
And everyone you meet is not better than you
And now I take it take it take it day by day
And now I take it take it take it day by day
But it's a lucky coincidence
Because I think it even comes that way
